Netflix is growing the world of Nobody Wants This ahead of its third season, bringing in nine new recurring and guest stars while continuing the story of Joanne and Noah’s unconventional romance.
The series, led by Kristen Bell as podcaster Joanne and Adam Brody as Rabbi Noah, follows the unlikely couple as they navigate love despite their very different backgrounds. Returning alongside Bell and Brody are familiar faces from the ensemble, including Lupe as Morgan, Timothy Simons as Noah’s brother Sasha, and Jackie Tohn as Esther.
After the events of Season 2, their relationship is deepening — but not without complications. According to the official synopsis, Joanne and Noah return “and fully committed to merging their lives – and loved ones — together. But their differences still exist and can’t be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.”
Among the biggest additions is Sarah Silverman, who takes on the role of Rabbi Eden, a teacher leading an introductory Judaism course. Andrew Rannells joins as Sebastien, a rival figure who clashes with Joanne during her conversion journey. Keyla Monterroso Mejia will appear as Amber, a fellow student in the class who is determined to find a Jewish partner.
Several guest stars are also set to appear: Steven Weber plays Julian, a confident and humorous divorced father, while Avan Jogia portrays Travis, another character who creates tension for Joanne. Sadie Sandler steps in as Denise, a psychic visited by Joanne’s sister Morgan, played by Justine Lupe. Additional appearances include Poorna Jagannathan as Eleanor and Stephanie Koenig as Poppy. Series creator Erin Foster will also appear on screen as Nicole, described as a ‘chaotic and perpetually single woman.’
Season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix later this year.
